Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2430 Return to the city

For the [-] Tubo soldiers and horses, Zhang Erhei didn't think much of them.

Even if there are many of them, isn't killing them just a joke?

However, Xu Jian said with a smile: "General Zhang, if our [-] Tang troops are fighting against [-] Tubo soldiers, even if we can win, the loss will be huge. So, how can we take our soldiers to die?" ?”

Hearing this, Zhang Erhei rolled his eyes and said, "Then what do you say?"

"Simple, the Tubo soldiers and horses are coming aggressively, so let's avoid their edge and take the soldiers and horses back to Gancheng. There are no people there now. We can fight against [-] Tubo soldiers and horses there and destroy them. Even if they can't be destroyed, they can still be restrained and wait for the arrival of my Great Tang reinforcements."

With no more than [-] soldiers in Tubo, it would be no problem to defend Songzhou City, and it would be no problem to wait for their reinforcements to arrive.

Zhang Erhei thought for a moment, although he felt a little aggrieved not to fight, but he still nodded, he can't let the soldiers die for nothing.

They must destroy Tubo's soldiers and horses after ensuring that their own soldiers and horses are not seriously damaged.

"Retreat, return to Gancheng."

A group of soldiers and horses followed Zhang Erhei and Xu Jian to Gancheng. They were very close to Gancheng, only about a day or two away.

And just as they were rushing to Gancheng, on Tubo's side, General Han Du had already obtained the Tang army's movements.

"General, Tang Jun suddenly turned around and ran to Gancheng with peace of mind."

"Turn around?" Originally, he still wanted to wait here for Tang Jun, but who ever thought that Tang Jun would turn around, which made him a little hard to understand. Isn't Tang Jun going to rescue Songzhou City?

Han Du thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh suddenly, and said: "This group of Tang troops is really cunning. They know that they are not my Tubo opponents, so they backed away to avoid our sharp edge, and if we chased them, they would be afraid. The city is about to be attacked, and as long as the city is attacked, the Tang army will be able to reduce losses."

Knowing what was going on, a group of soldiers looked around and asked, "General Handu, do we want to chase after him?"

After chasing him, he had to attack the city, so everyone wanted to know what Han Du meant.

Han Du thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Chasing after him, how can we give up such a good opportunity?"

They must destroy these tens of thousands of Tang troops, they want revenge, and they want to stick to the strength of Songzhou City. If they retreat like this, wouldn't it be worth their trip?
When they got back, their zamp had to kill them.

After Han Du's order was issued, the Tubo soldiers and horses did not hesitate at all, and directly led the soldiers and horses to chase after him.
-
Gancheng has already changed from person to person.

The entire Gancheng was empty, without the slightest human habitation.

And here at the city gate, some corpses could still be seen. These corpses showed an abnormal whiteness in the cold wind.

Seeing this, Xu Jian just sighed, and then led his troops into the city, and ordered people to make some defensive preparations.

The gate of Gancheng is still intact, and this is a very lucky thing for them.

All they need to do is other preparations.

But they didn't prepare for long, about two days later, [-] Tubo soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Han Du, came to Gancheng mightily.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides confronted each other, Zhang Erhei looked at the Tubo soldiers and horses under the city, and smiled: "You Tubo think things too beautifully, it is ridiculous to want to destroy us soldiers and horses just by you, you have the ability, Come and attack the city, and I will see how you destroy us."

Zhang Erhei stood on the tower and yelled, Handu frowned slightly, and cursed: "It turns out that Datang is just a bunch of cowards, if you have the ability, you go out of the city to fight, I want to see how good you are."

Han Du wanted to use the aggressive method, but neither Xu Jian nor Zhang Erhei was the kind of person who could be easily provoked.

"Hehe, you still have [-] soldiers and horses, and you still bully the few with more people. If you have the ability, you only keep [-] soldiers and horses here. See if my soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will not torture and kill you?"

"........."

The two sides fought with each other, but neither of them could take advantage.

In the end, he became angry, and the Tubo soldiers swarmed over to kill him after the Handu gave an order.

Songzhou City is strong, they are not easy to attack, this Gancheng is average, can they still not attack it?

The Tubo soldiers and horses came madly, and on the tower, the archers had already made their preparations, and with a sound of firing, sharp arrows rained like rain.

The Tubo soldiers and horses fell down one after another, and it was by no means an easy task for them to rush in.

The fight started, and Gancheng once again exuded a strong smell of blood.

When death comes, Gancheng is like a hell on earth.

The two sides fought for a whole day, although there were many Tubo soldiers and horses, they failed to capture Gancheng, but their soldiers and horses were damaged, but a lot.

Night was coming, and the cold wind was getting heavier. Han Du looked at Tang Jun on the tower, and the anger in his eyes seemed to swallow everything.

However, the more this time came, the more difficult it would be to capture Gancheng.

"retreat."

Han Du ordered that this city of Gan is not easy to attack, all they can do is to prepare for a long-term battle, go back to the camp to rest tonight, and then attack the city after tomorrow.

The Tubo soldiers and horses returned to the barracks, and soon someone lit a torch and started cooking. The food was very ordinary, basically without any fragrance, but for those who had fought for a day, these ordinary foods were really delicious. It is very fragrant.

Handu drank the hot porridge, which made him feel more comfortable.

After he finished his meal, he summoned a group of generals and asked, "Gancheng, how should we break through? Do you have any good solutions?"

Everyone looked at each other, and soon, a person stood up and said, "General, there are many Tang troops in Gancheng, and we are only twice as strong as them. It is not easy to capture the city, but as long as we attack the city, our losses will be reduced." It is more serious than the loss of the Tang army; the Tang army may not have much food and grass in the city, and they may not have enough food and grass for a few days, and the city is already empty. Offensive, the chances of winning will be great."

Without food and grass, the soldiers would mutiny. Even if they didn't mutiny, they had no choice but to go out of the city and fight.

And it is relatively easier for them to find some food outside the city.

After the general said this method, some other people suddenly realized something. Why didn't they think of this? They could completely surround the city without attacking, starving the Tang army in the city to death.

"Okay, this is indeed a good way. Then we will waste time with them like this. I think the reinforcements from Datang will not come so soon."
